Only Watch 2011 Auction Pieces Hands-On
Last night here in Los Angeles I was invited to view the traveling roadshow which is the Only Watch 2011 timepiece collection. On an arduous trip around the globe the 40 or so watches up for auction later this month in Monaco will have made only two stops in the United States before being bid on by those interested in acquiring these one-of-a-kind pieces.I began my coverage of Only Watch 2011 here where I logged each of the entrant pieces. The every-other-year event asked brands to "play the game" as they call it. Which entails brands offering totally unique watch creations donated to be bid on for charity. Collectors and those with a lust for wrist candy eagerly await the event now operated by Antiquorum.The venue selected to show off the pieces was Westime Beverly Hills. At a special evening event I was able to view collector's eying the pieces and showing off their own wrist treasures. Packed tight, the boutique store was brimming with a welcome energy that has been absent from the

Help please, correct P/N for Bracelet
Hello,I recently picked up a nice preowned Planet Ocean that I have been wanting for quite a while. It is the model 232.30.46.21.01.003 with the rubber strap and the orange stitching. Per the Omega site it is the 45.5mm. I would like to order the correct stainless bracelet for the watch. In looking I have found 2 different part numbers and was hoping someone could confirm the correct number before I order.I believe the correct P/N for the bracelet is 1590/867 which is listed as a 22mm lug width and it has the screws instead of the pins which I would prefer. I have also found another P/N 1591/831 but I believe that is for a chronograph which my watch is not. In addition there appear to be a number of P/Ns out there for a similar sized bracelet but they use pins and not screws. As I said I would prefer screws but if I must get one that uses pins so be it. I'm guessing there are different P/Ns out there due to small variances in the links and clasps. Could someone please confirm

watch info
Hi allBeen an avid watch buyer for some time. Probably can't be described as a collector since I buy purely what I like and don't really consider value in the long term etc just buy for my pleasure and I'm too tight to sell them. Couldnt face someone offering me a pitance for something that is or was my pride and joy..Currently have quite a nice assortment.Rolex GMT Ceramic half gold, Panerai 251 (just purchased) Omega 50 year speedy, planet ocean chrono, omega constellation, couple of Rado's, 2 TAG's and some other odds and sods.Yes quite a diverse mixture but all worn frequently and sadly abused.Anyway over the last couple of years wife have been getting more interested in what I've picked out for her and surprise surprise recent she pulled out an old ladies Omega from the bottom of her jewellery box.She got this back in 1970 it is so small I couldn't believe it. Rectangular about 10mm by 7mm so small. It's on a replacement bracelet so don't know hat it should be.She got this from he

Patek Philippe stylus
I am new to the patek world and I'm sure some may know about this already, but I just realized it this morning that the stylus that came with my patek 5990 is 18k white gold. I noticed the little stamps on the stylus this morning when changing the date on my watch. It is unbelievable that something so small would have so much detail and for patek to finish it in solid gold. So elegant. Do all patek watches with date come with solid gold stylus?a couple pictures below
